Detailed Synopsis of Legend of the Brothers
Chronicles the rise of two brothers from their start in the 1940'sas illegal immigrants from China to the 1970's when they became the heads of the most powerful triad group in Hong Kong. Kent Cheng is the wise brother who must constantly help out his rash younger brother, Ray Lui. Another one of these true-life stories that seems to glorify triad life. Predictable at best.
